Meet Sami

Sami McKay (she/her) is a mixed media artist and writer based in Toronto, Ontario.

Her work is deeply symbolic and leans on themes of curiosity and exploration, (dis)connection, and navigating the human experience.

She aims to display through art and writing, the rawness, complexity and beauty of our existence
